Yup, mine is being delivered back tommorow. They were actually quite quick doing the repairs once they did the quote. Must admit took them a while getting the quote done.

My accident was on the 1st October so has taken a while, but its just a case of how many they have.

They seemed good to talk to, and were happy for me to cell for updates when I wanted. Also, the exhaust has a tiny dink on it and they can't get the Street Extreme from Scorpion quick enough so are posting it to me once it has arrived.

early stages yet mate but i had a crash on 6th of this month, they collected my bike on 14th and it went to surrey. took a while to get the bike due to me not being able to get to where the bike was but they were calling me every other day so seem ok so far.

Thx guys for your replies, so far i've been quite impressed with Bennetts and Bikers Legal Direct, I had the accident on Friday 14th, and the very next day my bike was collected by BLD and a Bandit with 91 miles on the clock was dropped off for me

i had an accident 1 august 07, and i was suppost to get my bike repaired by 4th dimension, but as i had a hoilday booked and i left for holiday about 4 or 5 days after the accident, they couldnt someone to pick up the bike before this and then wouldn't pick it up or repair it once i got back as they will only do it within the week or so?

i wasn't impressed at all!

I had an accident on 21st July. Third party at fault. Called Bennetts, loan bike arranged, arrived two days later. I only let it go back last week. Third party (Churchill) were crap at sorting the claim. I claimed £1900 for my written off curvy and they paid out £14000 in hire bike fees for a loan CBR600RR. Oh yes....

Ever wondered why your premium is so expensive.....useless idiots.

4th dimension were fairly good. assessed the damage, collected the bike quickly, never got it back but then I didn;t really want it back.....

Just as an update. Got my bike back this morning. The work they had done was very good and it all looks very tidy. They had even cleaned and polished the bike!!!!!. Must admit, apart from the time, can't fault my experience with them.

Update - 4th dimension have called me today, offering the prospect of a 'non' original silencer, is there anything to avoid? i've heard carbon cans aren't too clever with vtwin, and i'm not sold on a stubby. i don't know what make they're proposing, they're getting back to me once they've costed the job properly.
